This tournament, for the first time, will feature 16 teams including 10 members qualified directly and 6 associate members qualified through 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers. This ICC World Twenty20 will host totally 35 matches. The practice matches will be played in The Khan Sahib Osman Ali Stadium in Narayanganj, BKSP Ground in Savar and Cox's Bazar Stadium.

The logo of the tournament, motivated by the distinctively painted cycle rickshaws which congest the streets of the Bangladesh cities, was uncovered on Saturday 6th April, on an evening illuminated by the celebrities, in Dhaka at a sparkling festivity presided over by the International Cricket Council (ICC) Vice President AHM Mustafa Kamal and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan. The logo makes use of the colours of the Bangladeshi flag with splatters of blue representing the country's rivers (also the ICC's own colour). The logo for the tournament was launched exactly one year in advance of the tournament finals.

Also, it is the first time that the tournament will be contested by 16 teams along with eight women's teams including the hosts for the first time.

The 2014 ICC World Twenty20 will involve possibly 54 matches for men and women teams i.e. 39 for men and 15 for women. This event is programmed to be contested in four cities Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and Cox's Bazar.

The Khan Sahib Osman Ali stadium in Narayanganj has been set aside as standby venue, while the Cox's Bazar Cricket Stadium will host the women's tournament only.

This event also known as the ICC World T20 or the T20 World Cup is coordinated by the cricket’s controlling body, the International Cricket Council (ICC). This tournament to start with, featured 12 teams consisting of all ten ICC full members and two other ICC members selected through the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier. This international event is organized once in every two years.

The opening event, the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, was staged in South Africa from September 11 to 24 2007. India won the cup by defeating Pakistan by 5 runs in the final at Johannesburg and became the first World T20 Champion. The 2009 ICC World Twenty20, the second event, was contested in England from June 5 to21 2009. Pakistan, the previous runners-up won this tournament defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the final at Lord's, London. The third competition, the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 was organised from April 30 to May 16 2010 in the West Indies. The English were the winners, over powering Australia by 7 wickets in the final at Kensington Oval, Barbados. The fourth tournament, the 2012 ICC World Twenty20, was held from September 18 to October 7 2012 and was hosted by Sri Lanka. The winners were West Indies who defeated Sri Lanka by 36 runs.

All Test-playing nations achieve automatic qualification to the tournament, with the remaining places filled by other ICC members through a qualification tournament. Qualification for the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 came from the results of the first cycle of the World Cricket League, a 50-over league for non-Test playing nations. The two finalists of the Division One tournament (Kenya and Scotland) qualified for the inaugural tournament alongside the Test-playing nations. For subsequent tournaments, qualification has been achieved through the World Twenty20 Qualifier, with Afghanistan (2010 and 2012), Ireland (2009, 2010, and 2012), Netherlands (2009), and Scotland (2009) each having qualified through this process.
The International Cricket Council's executive committee votes for the hosts of the tournament after examining bids from the nations which have expressed an interest in holding the event. After South Africa in 2007, England, West Indies and Sri Lanka hosted the tournament in 2009, 2010 and 2012 respectively. The ICC had decided that South Africa and England should host the first two tournaments as they were the earliest adopters of the format. India will host the 2016 tournament.

The 2012 ICC World Twenty20 was the fourth ICC World Twenty20 competition, took place in Sri Lanka from 18 September to 7 October 2012 which was won by the West Indies. The schedule was posted by International Cricket Council (ICC). This was the first World Twenty20 tournament held in an Asian country, the last three were held in South Africa, England and the West Indies. Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga has been chosen as the event ambassador of the tournament. The format had four groups of three teams in a preliminary round. India and England are in the same group and were joined by the runner up of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, Afghanistan. The champions of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, Ireland, are in a group with West Indies and Australia. Sri Lanka, South Africa and Zimbabwe, and Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh are the other two groups.

Match fixtures were announced on 21 September 2011 by ICC. On the same date, the ICC also unveiled the logo of the tournament, named "Modern Spin". The main achievements were:
